Don't Get Bit
Date of Scene: 31 October 2025
Location: Juuban Ward
Synopsis: A Zomburger Apocalypse is under way, and Amy's been zombified! Entrapta's got fireworks, Hawkmoth's gone scouting, Kyubey's done got bit, and Mou Fubuki and Goldenweb Yorotsuchi are the only ones who can put a stop to it.
Cast of Characters: Mai Elcamino, Ahmya Karashima, Entrapta, Amanda Faust, Gabriel Agreste, Laisa Samuiko
Tinyplot: Hamburger Zombies


Mai Elcamino has posed:
It's around lunchtime in Juuban -- maybe half an hour to an hour after Amy was bitten by hamburger zombies in Mitakihara, and fled before Wako could bubble her. ...and Sugata and Mai but those are Separate Problems.

The zombies are, in fact, only just starting to spread out of their ward of origin, and most people are at work or school, still. The news has had plenty (and yet also not much) to say about the flash mobs or the mass hallucinations or whatever's going on-- every time they send reporters in they start talking about hamburgers and nothing else.

The seven-foot-tall man with the handlebar moustache that groans down the street is given a wide berth by civilians simply because he's seven feet tall and doesn't look human, really? Very uncanny valley. Plus the moustache.

He walks up to a bus stop and bites someone, then goes PFEH PEH, spitting the taste of sleeve out, and tries the next person--

Ahmya Karashima has posed:
Ahmya had, actually, been at home when most of this started. When something magical popped up on the news though... well...

... Look when the news anchor starts saying 'hamburger' repeatedly, you grab your henshin item and start running to the area after letting your parents know that you're heading out.

On the way to the latest location the news anchor had covered, Ahmya quickly does her transformation into Goldenweb Yorotsuchi. She doesn't even bother drawing her sword, since with zombies... well... those were people. And she's pretty sure her golden threads are likely to be the better option than just cutting people up or whatever!

So as the seven-foot-tall man groans down the street, the soft sound of a repeated ~tak tak tak tak tak~ of wooden geta can be heard rapidly running in the direction of the bus stop.

And Goldenweb Yorotsuchi appears! ... ... Though she stands atop a nearby building instead of being on ground level after approaching.

"...D...do I try telling them to stop or not... zombies don't talk, right? But these ones say 'Hamburger'..." She mutters under her breath, crouching on the side of that building to look over the area and take stock of the situation.

Entrapta has posed:
Entrapta is dressed for halloween! She's wearing the loveliest cosplay, or I SUPPOSE you could call it a costume given that it is halloween...broad hat, red short skirted wizard costume, magical explosions.

Explosions?

Yes, she's got fireworks. "Boom!" she says, in her odd voice. Her hair totally doesn't fit under her hat, but it kinda works. She tosses a small popper at some kids, which makes them laugh and run away!

Saved a few lives there, but trust me it was entirely by accident. She has literally no idea that anything is wrong.

She wanders past, not noticing the Humbergul zombies at all, and tosses some small explosions at them kind of reflexively. Girl's just out having some fun, and has a bag filled with fireworks to play with.

BOOM!

Amanda Faust has posed:
    So hungry.

    When Amy was done running from the magical girls, she found herself in an area almost devoid of... hamburger. Just as she smells one and runs for it, another zombie gets there first, and then the hamburger is another like her.

    She has to find hamburger. Then she can... then she can...! There was something important she had to do! It involved zombies and her friends. Her tasty, tasty friends. If only she could nibble them a little she could remember what she needs to do to help them!

    Of course, Amy can't stop thinking, even if the hunger gnaws at all thoughts like a fog. A... gnaw-y fog. She can pattern-match, and she knows this situation! Kind of.

    Being caught up in a contagious effect and spreading it, and being too consumed by focus on one thing to think, are scenarios she's considered, sure, but this isn't quite like what she was thinking of. If anything she's read or thought of before applies, she's too hungry to think of it!

    Hunger... she stops briefly on the edge of a roof across from a bus stop. There's ways to beat hunger, right? There was some reason that's a bad idea, but she can't remember, if she could just find--

Across the street:
    "Hamm burr gerrr!" Zombies are swiftly spreading at the bus stop. A little girl is hiding behind a now-abandoned newstand nearby. "I want to wake up..."

    < Make a contract with me and become a magical girl, and any wish can be

    "HAMBURGER!"

    Amy drops out of the sky and bites him. She freaking bites him. He has the consistancy of marshmallow. But not the taste. And not the taste of hamburger, either. He squirms ineffectively trying to free himself as Amy stands up and looks at the girl.

    "Thanks for saving me!"

    "Hammm burgher." Amy looks towards her and answers, Kyubey starting to scamper away after he falls from her mouth.

Gabriel Agreste has posed:
So Tokyo's having a very bad Halloween, and Hawkmoth is reveling in it.

Well, actually, he's regretting that he chose to venture into the city instead of standing above it, but he's not going to just admit that to anyone, let alone himself. The anguish, fear, rage, and frustration that swirl through the many areas of the city where the zombie plague has spread presses in on him, a constant barrage of emotional noise broadcast to him alone thanks to the power of the Butterfly Miraculous.

And yet - it is so very useful. Just feel all the misery that a single Lieutenant could cause.

That's the true reason Hawkmoth has ventured into the city himself: to witness and experience the chaos and anger first hand, and see if the progenitor of such negativity is worth recruiting.

"Even one of our enemies has become useful..."

Yeah, he's standing on a rooftop watching the chaos in full Villainy Attire.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Well the zombies outside are frightful.

    But the burgers are so delightful.

    And as long as you hunger so...

    Laisa is still in her Suiseiseki costume in the middle of receiving texts from Veronica as she walks down the sidewalk. Something about going on a roadtrip. Surely nothing disastrous will happen regarding that. While she's thinking of a response, someone in the crowd draws a little too close and the red-eyed goth girl sidesteps and dodges past him without even looking up.

    "Hammm barr garrr."

    "No thanks. I don't want any."

    She continues to not look, but things in the corner of her eyes are looking a bit weird. People are moving wrong, either too fast or too... clumsily. It's only when she hears fireworks does she look up and realize that she's in the middle of a zomburger apocalypse. "... Ah. Of course. We save Christmas from people who hate it, and we save Halloween from people who get way too into it. Naturally."

    Her red eyes dart around. Magical stuff is happening. She backpedals away from a zombie while still holding her phone with both hands, turns to run, jumps over a fence and finds some bushes to hide in. Where she also finds a zombie.

    "No."

    It's not a fearful no. It's an abject refusal. There's a flurry of cold as SuiseiLaisa becomes Snow Angel Mou Fubuki, and she blasts the zombie in front of her with a cone of purifying snow. Because she's a purifier and this is clearly a civilian.

    Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Mai Elcamino has posed:
The first person that Luis bit has now dropped his briefcase to turn to the woman next to him and bite her arm, and so on. The bus is coming.

Luis runs out of hamburgers at the bus stop and then there are... fireworks?

Getting thrown at him? Popping, banging? Doink-POOM!

Each POP from that handful of Entrapta's absurdly cute fireworks results in another Luis showing up. There are now 3 Luisi, total, and they scatter, mixing it up with the few other shamblers.

There's one Luis and two civilians trailing Entrapta... and nobody's looking up at Ahmya.

Amy just bit KYUBEY, and now KYUBEY is ALSO a hamburger zombie. The murmuring in the background grows louder, but there's also yelling now, as people go from annoyed to angry and/or frightened and start fleeing or fighting.

The person Laisa just snowed on?

Is a forty-year old balding man in a suit who comes to, squints at Mou Fubuki, then starts shivering as he brushes himself off and un-crouches. "Sumimasen--" he breathes, "--arigatougozaimasu--" and runs away. Literally just books it.

"HAAAAMBARGARRRRRRR!" yells one of the Luisi, pointing at Ahmya finally. He walks over to the wall and looks up at her, then doinks his head against the wall and there are two of him, and he looks at himself and then the distance to Ahmya, and doinks his head on the wall again. Then the Luisi begin to stack beneath Goldenweb.

Entrapta has posed:
Of course, Entraptamegumin is not being HELPFUL. She doesn't know what that even means, expexially today when she's supposed to be having fun and getting free candy. So she instead trick or treats at a store, which has people inside who are scared and trying to lock the door.

"Trick or treat!" "Just take anything you want!" "Oh that's so nice of you, thank you I'll have one than you so much! Such nice people."

I think Entrapta just robbed someone. But she walks away with cotton candy and a smile, not having taken anything of...well, I mean.

I have no idea anymore. More fireworks are thrown, and she wanders through the crowd again.

Ahmya Karashima has posed:
Oh hey look there's a girl throwing explosives. Wait isn't that dangerous? Won't that possibly hurt someone? Yorotsuchi shakes her head, actually lifting her hands to smack her cheeks. Priorities, Ahmya. Priorities!

She takes a deep breath, standing as a zombie starts to move towards someone, and then... then...

Then Amy appears! Oh hey there's backup!

Wait. Wait. No. What's Amy doing?

Goldenweb Yorotsuchi is actually left standing there on the edge of the building. Staring down at Amy as she... bites... Kyubey. "..."

"What."

"No seriously what."

They're magical girls! They should be immune to stuff like this. How is a magical girl acting like the zombies???

Yorotsuchi smacks her cheeks with both hands again. "Alright, if she's going to be causing problems, I guess it's the job of another magical girl to stop her." She mumbles under her breath.

Also there's a weird villainy person over there on top of the rooftops too.

Really she can't blame Hawkmoth. The rooftops are the place to be.

"Alright... let's see..."

...Wait did that one... just... multiply? What the absolute heck???

Goldenrod is actually staring for a while as she's noticed. "...Uhm..."

Luckily there's... at least one other person here, right? Uhhhh.

"Nope."

Goldenweb Yorotsuchi immediately lifts her hands over the edge of the wall she's standing on to drop a sticky glob of golden web down towards the multiplying Luisi. A trail of the golden webbing sticks to her hands as she leaps across the road, dragging the webbing behind her, heavy sections of it appearing at the edges as she attempts to catch the worst of the spreading group of hamburglers.

... And drops the other edge once she reaches the opposite side of the road.

"Hello, fellow magical girl! Mine own purification powers are lacking, might I inquire about your capabilities? And if they are good, uhm." She calls out down towards Laisa. And then kind of gestures towards the hopefully-trapped-in-golden-web zombies. "...Little help please?"

Yep. She's absolutely mysterious and graceful. Definitely. Absolutely.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Mou Fubuki goes through a whole mental process of being mad at herself for thinking about catgirls, then smiling while remembering she's dating a tall catgirl, then getting mad at herself for getting distracted again. The zombies are spreading and all she can do is stare at the balding man who is fleeing from her and apologizing. Long after he's already out of earshot she shrugs and mumbles, "Wasn't your fault. Probably."

    As she hops back onto the sidewalk and starts skating down the street, she tries to take stock of the chaos but like... there is so much happening that trying to actually get a big picture of it all is hopeless. There's a bus stop nearby. Zombies are getting on the bus. This is probably a problem. Oh hey isn't that Amy?

    ... Oh. She's a zomzom, too.

    Um... this is a bad thing. It's so ridiculous that Laisa almost wants to laugh, but it's also really bad and she can't lower her guard because--

    "Humm burrgaa--mmph."

    A zombie lunging at Mou Fubuki gets a mouf full of purifying snow shaped like a burger. It's around then that Goldenweb addresses her with 'hello fellow magical girl' and Laisa gives her a suspicious look for a moment. Then she remembers her. "Oh. It's you again. We met like... once I think? Anyways, in case you forgot..." She gestures towards the Luisi that Goldenweb tried to capture, pointing her finger at them as the wind picks up around her, sending a purifying flurry of snow in their direction. Hopefully getting hit by snowflakes doesn't count as an impact because if it does? Uhhh....

    "I make ice and snow, and the snow purifies. I guess you have webbing?"

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Across the vast reaches of space, the Incubator has never observed a phenomenon like this.

    One of its bodies must have hamburger.

    Its bodies do not need hamburger. They do not use metabolic processes that require specific molecules, and the energy of chemical bonds is far less efficient than magic. There is no reason for it to need hamburger.

    One of its bodies must have hamburger.

    (Included in this definition of hamburger is humans who are not under this magical effect.)

    Finding hamburger will not fill the Incubator's quota. It will not reverse Entropy.

    And also, it must find hamburger.

    A small piece of the Incubator's consciousness is focused on this need. A tiny fraction of the thoughts, until now exclusively concerned with obtaining the energy released by the transformations of humans into Puella Magi and Puella Magi into Witches, is now optimizing for hamburger.

    The Incubator has never observed a phenomenon like this.

    Is there a possibility that this could spread? It would probably find hamburger (one of its bodies must have hamburger) but then it would not collect energy.

    It must collect energy.

    (One of its bodies must have hamburger)

    A quick calculation finds this outcome not able to be dismissed out of hand.

    All across the Earth, Kyubeys stop.

    The Incubator considers all data gathered so far. It must determine the risk of this phenomena halting the mission.

    (And also one of its bodies must find hamburger.)




    POP! Amy looks at the sound reflexively, and then considers whether it can help her find hamburger (possible... fireworks could mean people grilling nearby... it's not the right time of year for fireworks, but that's never stopped some Americans... and Amy can vaguely sense that she's missing an important factor there, but she's too hungry to remember what it is) or whether it seems likely to interfere with finding hamburger. (All it is doing is making more friends. And doesn't she not really have to worry about explosions harming her? That sounds right.)

"HAAAAMBARGARRRRRRR!"

    Amy's head swivels. One of her new friends found-- "Hamburger?"

    And then he's busy making more friends. You snooze you lose, dude!

    "HAMBURGER!" Amy shouts as she charges at Ahmya.





    There is one Kyubey that has not stopped.

    Entrapta hears a voice in her head.

    < Hamburger? >

    Two red eyes peer out at her from a shadowed alleyway.

Gabriel Agreste has posed:
A multiplying enemy that can plan (to get hamburgers) and decide on targets in the absence of a commander. Hawkmoth doesn't need monsters, or lieutenants - that's what the Butterfly is for - but he certainly needs bad days to happen.

And my, what a series of terrible days, now unfolding because of this incident.

Hawkmoth crafts an akuma - a single, glittering black butterfly - and sends it out to float about Luis, curious to see what will happen.

Mai Elcamino has posed:
There are suddenly six Luisi in Goldenweb's Youma Sack, because they definitely fell over when dragged. They're all trying to get up, and are getting tangled in each other, and it honestly looks like AI barfed on the street because they're all identical and they don't move right at all, they're only human *shaped*, and they're in this shimmering golden net...

...and then there's a pile of snow on the street with an empty webbing net underneath it.

Six Luisi gone, two remaining, one of which is banging on the bus doors-- the bus is stopped at the bus stop, but the bus is full of yelling people and the doors are NOT opening. The bus begins to drive off without the zombies, who all start to trail after it.

It's full of hamburgers.

The last remaining Luis is getting closer, and closer, and closer to Entrapta, and Entrapta is now between Luis and Zombey.

Ahmya Karashima has posed:
"Ah, right! Yeah! Uhm. I don't think that the purification really came up much that fight since we were kind of dealing with some weird craziness at the time and uhm. ANYWAY Not important what's important is that you have good purification, so uhm... if... you can focus on uh... the stronger ones and I'll try to focus on the more normal looking ones with my prayer slips maybe? Or uhm. I can just. Try to trap everyone with webs. I ... also have a sword! And uhm. Can do elemental stuff. But we don't REALLY want to hurt them so it's probably not ideal to use those."

Yep. You're /definitely/ mysterious and graceful right now, Yorotsuchi. Very graceful. Much mystery.

"I'm Goldenweb Yorotsuchi by the way! Nice to work with you!"

Speaking of magical girls, apparently... she's being charged at by Amy. Shouting about Hamburgers. This isn't the kind of bond the Ahmy-Amy-Ami group is supposed to have, ack!

Goldenweb Yorotsuchi quickly reaches for her sword, grabbing it by one of the rings on its blade ... to bring the hilt of her sword towards Amy as she charges.

And then she pulls out a small prayer slip, flinging it towards Amy's face.

It flickers with purification magic, but it's... pretty average. Nothing to write home about. It's the diet coke of purification, really.

"Hi, uhm. Rocket Girl Red! You're... not supposed to be like this! Remember, you're the rocket girl of cute and explosions! Hamburgers are tasty, but remember the other good things in your life!"

Right about now is when Yorotsuchi is rather glad for Hachi keeping an eye on things for her, because only having one eye, and having a magical girl on the end of a stick (sword) distracting you is not good when in a zombie apocalypse.

Luckily, a lot of the zombies go ~poof~ when that sack is covered in snow, and almost immediately after, the golden threads disappear alongside it.

Phew. Okay.

And the bus is leaving! So there's not going to be more people turning into zombies for the moment! Probably! ... But also some of the zombies are leaving.

Ugh. "...Maybe we should clean up here and then follow the bus too?" She mutters to herself under her breath.

Gabriel Agreste has posed:
A black-purple butterfly darts through the sky, winding around one of the remaining Luis to land lightly on Entrapta's shoulder. Light pulses around her face, creating the image of butterfly wings.

And yet, Entrapta isn't transformed. No, there's just a calm voice saying,

"Enissa Von Trapp, a monster which alters cognition is about to try and bite you."

It's Hawkmoth's voice of course, and he sounds mildly concerned but not particularly worried.

"I would recommend avoiding that outcome."

Entrapta has posed:
Dun dun dun.

Leap. There's a leap involved, and biting. And infection! And ..and..and..a moth! Akumatizing and, mixing with infection, and...

You know what, this is just a weird moment. But there's a second when things seem like they're all going wrong, and Entrapta has definitely been bitten, but she's not looking like a zomburger.

She just looks like she's got a bit of a problem, and she picks up Kyubey, who's fairly certain that he bit her (she did not taste like hamburger, I know it's sad) and then pats the Incubator on the head.

Then she bites him, and puts him back down. And goes off, to bite a Luis as well if there's one nearby.

Infecting it with the desperate need to learn binary code or invent hamburgers or something like that.

Yeah, she's REALLY not helpful in these situations. More of a chaos gremlin.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Mou Fubuki listens to Goldenweb with dispassionate interest. The cold around her eyes says she doesn't care but the fact that she doesn't break eye contact proves that maybe she actually cares a little bit.

    "Snow Angel Mou Fubuki," is what she introduces herself as. Then she points at Amy and says, "Look out!"

    Oh geeze, and also that bus full of zombies is getting away. She could ice the roads but... no, that would just cause a wreck. Should she? Should she not? Her hesitation amidst the chaos costs her the opportunity.

    She clicks her tongue. This isn't good. How is she gonna explain that she let a zombie apocalypse happen on her watch? "You know... I'm just gonna cause a blizzard. Snow on Halloween has to be preferable to the most ridiculous end of the world, right?"

    She hops up onto a lamppost, raises her hands to her sides. Her hair and poncho whip around her as the winds go from a chilly breeze to a violent storm. Countless snowflakes fall from the sky, covering the streets and sidewalks with a blanket of white.

    Oh no, the fireworks girl got bit! Well that can't be tolerated.

    "Snow Heart Solstice!" shouts Mou Fubuki, as a mixture of ice and snow coalesces into a singular ball of purifying cold, which then gets launched from her palm at Entrapta.

    Then her eyes go to Amy and she calls out to Goldenweb. "Are you still okay down there? I'm sorry, I don't think I can stop the bus."

Amanda Faust has posed:
    The hamburger named Entrapta is known to have frequent periods of hyperfocus and reduced situational awareness. She is also as of last encounter still willing to talk to Kyubey rather than punting him on sight.

    These factors raise the calculated probability that persuing this particular hamburger will result in success.

    The phenomenon's affect on the Incubator is not spreading. Spreading across thoughts is not an infection vector.

    Entrapta is bitten. This body has hamburger.

    This body needs hamburger.

    The infection only has control of one of the Incubator's bodies. The mission is not in immediate critical danger.

    Find other target hamburgers. Hawkmoth will not be defended by the other magic users present.

    The infection can spread from human to Kyubey body. The phenomenon spreading amongst the humans was previously calculated as only an opportunity to contract potential Puella Magi while they are in a situation more likely to consider an immediate wish and not any potential costs.

    Nonmagical humans will not defend themselves, but are defended by magic-users.

    The Incubator must reconsider the phenomenon's impact on potential energy collection, with the potential risk of humans biting more of its bodies.

    That body must have hamburger. What is the most optimal hamburger to target?




    The red eyes disappear back into the alley.




    Amy hasn't thought about fighting her friend Ahmya. You would think that a friend would be understanding of how badly she needs a hamburger right now, and let her have a bite!

    But Amy has learned about fighting, from classes with Inai-sensei. The intent of that hilt-forward stance is obvious -- to make her miscalculate the reach of that blade.

    Things aren't supposed to be like this. "Ham!" Amy agrees. You're the rocket girl of cute explosions. Hamburgers are tasty -- "Hamburger!" she agrees, excitedly! -- but remember the other good things in life.

    The other good things in life... she knows that she wants them, and she knows that this hunger is stopping her from remembering them! It's so frustrating! "HAAAMH!" She needs to dodge that sword so she can-- PAPER!

    Amy slides under the prayer slip, the heels of her boots suddenly incorporating metallic plates that slide on the street better than cloth -- and claws on the front of her boots which she tilts forward back into contact with the ground to bring herself to an abrupt stop at the edge of sword range.

    Pink sparkles surround her hands as her upper body tilts up from the slide into a crouch, and suddenly she's grabbing for the sword with a clawed metal gauntlet to try and pull herself up close--

    Because she wants to remember the good things. That's why she needs a "BURGHERR!"

    --into biting range. She lunges for Ahmya's non-sword arm, mouth open wide!




    Hawkmoth can hear a voice.

    < Hamburger... >

    When he looks, there's a Kyubey partway across the roof, almost hidden from him by ductwork. Sitting creepily motionlessly.

    ...And then another Kyubey climbs onto the roof and races over and pounces it, the two tumbling and rolling across the roof.

    < Hamburger. >
    < Hamburger. >


    They scamper off the other side of the roof.

Mai Elcamino has posed:
Shamble shamble hambarrgaaaarrrrr hamnb urghr hmabgrur--

Up and down the street, everything the snowflakes touch is purified, maybe Hawkmoth wants like an umbrella or something here. The Luis following the crowd of civilian zombies who were trying to follow the bus disintegrates, handlebar moustache falling last and turning to ash before drifting away in the blizzard. The civilian zombies themselves come to, suddenly freezing cold and confused and angry and all kinds of unhappy, but they are no longer desperate for hamburger and that Was Not Funny.

The Luis that Entrapta bit is in the alley where Kyubey was, finger-writing in binary code on the wall of the building in glowing black letters of dark energy. Alas, he does not have time to finish writing his knock-knock joke about hamburgers before the snow whirls into the alley that houses him and turns him to ash as well.

And now there's a lot of snow.

Perhaps Entrapta should throw a snowball back at the girl who threw Snow Heart Solstice at her (which thankfully takes the hunger for hamburgers away!)

... unfortunately there are... kyuburger zombeys. And Amy.

Entrapta has posed:
SNOE HART SOLSIC!

No that's not right. Dangit, I'm still learning this Earth Language...Entrapta turns toward the sound, ready to bite and infect with the need to translate C++ into tertiary programming code, and gets hit RIGHT IN THE FACE.

Snowball. Face. Backflip.

Entrapta gets laid out in the snow, and skids a few feet.

"Aw, I spilled my cotton candy," she mumbles. Then rubs snow out of her purified eyes, looking around confusedly. "Wait, what is this stuff?"

She is busy for a while, having not encountered snow much in her life. And wanders off, not sure where she is or how she got here. "What am I wearing?"

Well, that's what she has memory AI for. And post-its.

Ahmya Karashima has posed:
Fubuki says she's going to create a blizzard. "Oh! Wide range purification! Great! I uh. I'll keep Rocket Girl Red here as best as I can." Eheh. She shifts her hand off her sword, starting to weave a quick little web.

Right as Amy ... SLIDES under the prayer slip and grabs her sword. "What. No you're a hamburger zombie why are you being smart aaaa." Yorotsuchi says as Amy lunges for her arm...

And Yorotsuchi flings that little weaved bit of webbing right for that open mouth, intent on simply filling it with a gob of incredibly sticky webbing instead, as she quickly uses her hold of her sword to yank on it and attempt to throw Amy off balance. "Nope! Stop that! Behave! Down girl! Aaaa how do you talk down a hamburger zombie?!"

As the snow falls, Yorotsuchi starts weaving and throwing prayer slip afte prayer slip towards the Amy-zombie, interspersed with bursts of webbing.

...If her zombie can't dodge, poor Amy is probably going to be having a REALLY bad time after all this probably.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Mou Fubuki would smile at the effects her blizzard is having on the field, but she's a snowy goth girl and her heart is frozen as per her curse. So instead she simply looks down at the field with satisfaction and--

    There's a dark general here.

    ... and at least two infected mascots. Wasn't she warned about that one in particular?

    Oh, and Amy isn't quite fixed yet. Hm.

    She whispers on the wind, and it carries her voice to Goldenweb. It almost sounds haunting when she speaks this way, but that's Accursed magical girls for you. "I'll support you. Be careful."

    Amy is moving quickly, and Mou Fubuki doesn't think she's in a position where spamming finishers is a good idea. The exertion she's made so far has formed large icy wings on her back, empowering her further but also weighing her down. She can't really move quickly from the lamppost she's standing on top of, but at least the block of ice around her feet is keeping her pinned in place.

    Balls of purifying snow, one after another, are thrown at Amy, hopefully adding to the effect of Goldenweb's prayer slips. She'd do more, but causing a blizzard is not a small task and Laisa now has to worry about her energy levels.

Gabriel Agreste has posed:
A bit of purifying snow lands on Hawkmoth - enough to amount collectively to a single snowball - and sizzles, painful, even as the despair and panic felt by every civilian fleeing from the zombie mob throughout the city crashes in, all the more vivid.

He's seen enough.

He turns to go, in a whirl of darkness and a duskport away.

The butterfly that had touched Entrapta turns white as purifying snow dusts over it, and flaps off into the sky.

Amanda Faust has posed:
    Two of its bodies must find hamburger.
    Two of its bodies must find hamburger.

    The Incubator assesses the threat of the Kyubey-Kyubey infection vector.

    Preliminary assessment determines that immediate action should be taken.

    Two of its bodies must find hamburger. It knows the location of all of its bodies.
    Two of its bodies must find hamburger. It knows the location of all of its hamburgers.

    RUN.

    Hamburgers are running. Chase.
    Hamburgers are running. CHASE.




    Why would she not be smart just because she's a hamburger zombie? Amy frowns as she leans in. Some part of her is especially annoyed at the insinuation that a change would make her less smart, and she can't remember why. No matter, she's about to taste--

    "GHhh?!" Amy's face just kind of bounces off Ahmya's arm and she looks utterly confused. Why did biting not result in tasting hamburger?!

    And what is in her mouth? Of all things, the part of Amy's brain that rejected the darkness so she could be purified and that spotted Bliss-chan's strategy, chooses now to wake up... and isn't sure why. Why does the obstruction in her mouth matter? All that matters right now is hamburger.

    "HNNNH!" she goes to bite again, and her webbed mouth ineffectively grazes Ahmya as ZombAmy is yanked and sent stumbling back, forgetting to try and keep hold of the sword.

    She needs hamburger. She has to have hamburger.

    She can't have hamburger for some reason.

    Okay this is really bad, screams Amy's brain, if this situation continues something very bad will happen and it's enough to push against the fog around her brain just enough to determine that she needs to get the obstruction out of her mouth so that she can put hamburgers in--

    This is all while Amy is falling to and hitting the ground. She's just starting to lift her hand towards her mouth when the prayer slips and webbing start hitting her.

    Also she's getting snowed on.

    Amy looks up at her friend, who is not a hamburger why did she ever think that, wide-eyed. "....HHMMMHH-HH?!"

    Oh, she is going to have a very bad time today, certainly.




    Further down the street, Kyubey darts out of an alleyway, racing across the street in a hurry.

    Two other Kyubeys dart out after it.

    < Hamburger! >
    < Hamburger! >


    And as the snow falls on all of them they just kind of stop.

    And look around.

    And dart out of sight.

    And for the rest of the night, the Incubator watches, and makes sure that each of its bodies in the affected region of Tokyo is keeping tabs on a purifier, and has at least one other body near the same purifier.
